Israel’s pre-emptive war was in June 1967.

My bad- thx

Good article. The liberal media certainly won’t bring up the possibility that obama is on the wrong side.

Assad may not be a good guy but may be the best option.

Christians have been protected in Syria under Assad. And the Assad government certainly hasn’t behaved as extremists like obama’s new pals in Iran.

Simple answer is yes and for the same reason....Cra Cra dem In the whitehouse

[Reaganite Republican]

Agreed on all points

And the Russians stand to make some real gains in the ME now... which we basically just handed to them.

[Reaganite Republican]

Right

I agree but I suspect Obama is a muslim and is all for expanding the caliphate. It wasn’t choosing the wrong side for him.

One of the inconvenient little facts from the 1990s that doesn't get much attention is that the same big-government, globalist @ssholes in the second Bush administration who were big cheerleaders for the invasion of Iraq were also clamoring for the Clinton administration to topple Milosevic back in 1998 and 1999, too.

I would just assume that these people were all puppets of radical Islamic regimes using their oil money to infiltrate U.S. politics. It's no coincidence that the biggest beneficiaries of U.S. military campaigns in the last 25 years have all been donors to the Clinton Foundation or real estate investment partners with the Bush family.

Christians in Iraq were protected under Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist government, too.

There are still a lot of people here on FreeRepublic who don't want to admit that.

What is so great about Milosevic? His Serbian fascism made atrocities like Srebrenica happen.

[Reaganite Republican]

Saddam seems to have been mostly pragmatic -his only concern with was loyalty- probably didn’t care if you were a Klingon

[Gaffer]

But we (Obama) has such wonderful success in fomenting regime change in the middle east! Remember Iran’s Youth Revolt early in his tenure? Egypt! Libya! Why not Syria?

We must tear down any traditional Muslim-leaning established government in relative peace and create strife and Change! Support the rebels. Hell, support a whole cadre of rebels....it worked out so well with Afghanistan of the 80s didn’t it?

I remember a Serbian lady on the radio all but promise this outcome if Yugoslavia was defeated.

It was haunting...and she was right.

So true.

[MrEdd]

Slow on the pickup?
Military personnel have been saying this since it was revealed who the rebels were.

[Trumpinator]

Official Washington still thinks it did the right thing in backing the Muslims against the Serbs.

[Nifster]

But it is the wrong side for the US

[Reaganite Republican]

We need to install some friendly dictators over there

Al Sisi would be the prototype
